At EmpathyHQ, we understand the importance of equipping children with the necessary skills to navigate the ups and downs of life. Our Program is designed to help children ages 0-17 learn how to manage their emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and seek support when needed. With a focus on fostering emotional intelligence and resilience, we provide a safe and supportive space for children to grow and thrive.
We believe that children who can effectively name and understand their feelings can then self-manage behaviors using coping skills and/or ask for help from staff members, thus reducing behaviors that lead to suspensions and academic issues.
